Creator of the Chazal team in the early 90s, which over the years became Casino, AG2R-La Mondiale and Decathlon – AG2R, the Haut-Alpin Vincent Lavenu, based in Savoie for more than 30 years, who has just been dismissed of the World Tour team in 2024, was seduced by a new project.
He becomes sponsor of Ma Petite Entreprise, the future team of Michaël Amand and Simon Savre which wants to build itself – it's off to a good start – on the basis of unprecedented collective financing. All this while relying on a very large network of VSEs and SMEs, which can join the adventure from a paltry sum for a large group (750 euros).
The team launched in 2026
Lavenu joins the adventure voluntarily to provide know-how, expertise and of course his notoriety. The initial idea remains the same: raise a budget of 3 to 5 million euros to launch men's and women's training by 2026 at Continental level (3rd division).
